296 Like Mall (2/2)

”You two follow him first, I will be right there.”

”Yes.” The two soldiers saluted as they began to jog after him.

After he returned the base, Jiang Chen notified Cheng Weiguo before he equipped himself with the T-3 power armor and chased after Meng Qian.

The two soldiers following Meng Qian were both knights of the Fishbone base; they were injected with the ”honorary chip” it just had a different name. Therefore, their two-dimensional coordinates will appear on the EP map as green dots.

After inputting the map's information into the full sensory screen in the power armor helmet, Jiang Chen moved at full speed to catch up with the two green dots.

The snow was thick on the highway. Jiang Chen was planning to initiate gliding mode to chase them, but because the wheels were losing grip on the ground, he had to run.

After wasting some time on the road, Jiang Chen finally arrived at the destination. However, the two soldiers were already waiting there for him.

”Where did he go?” Jiang Chen slowed his speed in front of the two as he asked.

”He went in. We were worried that we may alert them, so we didn't follow.” The soldier pointed across the street.

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked over.

It was a small mall three floors high. There was a sign that read ”Like Store” dangling from the roof. From the car wreckages in front of the entrance, this place was popular before the war. A lot of the mall's windows were sealed shut with wooden boards or other materials. The rest of them were covered by curtains.

Only the glass door of the mall was wide open.

It blocked all possibility of peeking in from the outside. At the same time, there was to blockade at the front door.

The building looking suspicious!

Jiang Chen stared at the dark entrance as he frowned. He opened the life detection device on the power armor. The waves scanned the hologram map, but when it passed through the building, there was not a single signal on the device.

From this point, there seemed to be no human activity in the mall.

Jiang Chen didn't feel too surprised by the result, he was more confident that there was something strange inside.

Although this device is effective in the modern world, which has a lower technology level, it is not so useful in the apocalypse. A lot of survivor groups, mercenaries, or raiders with a clever mind would install life detection device shields in their home to prevent their coordinates from being detected by people with ill-intention.

The guy called Meng Qian just went inside, how could there be no one inside?

”How long did he go in for?” Jiang Chen said in an undertone.

The older soldier looked at his EP. ”10 minutes.”

Jiang Chen thought for a moment.

[The strange hallucination drug. The merchant appeared at the camp gate out of nowhere. Is this a coincidence? But it is too much of a coincidence.]

Camp 27 has been built for only two days; the wall was not even half constructed yet. And there just happened to be a merchant that was passing by. One who was not even sure about the kind of people the group consisted of and walked over to the gate to sell products to the patrols who were holding guns? It didn't make sense.

If the soldiers had bought his drug, they would also experience hallucinations and walk into here?

When Jiang Chen thought about this, his expression turned stern but then loosened.

If they were targeting the Fishbone base, no reason not to recognize him as the general. But from the actions of the merchant, he didn't seem to recognize him. From this point alone, he shouldn't be targeting the base.

Then they must be coming for Fallout Shelter 027!

Jiang Chen's eyes began to light up as the clues in his head became more evident.

The opponent seems to have acquired the knowledge that fallout shelter 027 has opened. Then for some reason, they tried to lure the residents here. But the merchant didn't know the specifics of the plan as he was just ordered to sell the drug. So, he didn't care if they were ”blue skins” or not.

It would make sense this way.

As to their intention, he would only know if he enters the building.

Jiang Chen stared at the pitch black door, as well as the window only covered in cloth and instantly had an idea.
